“I’ve always thought that a free trade deal with the U.S. would be difficult” – and what this Prime Minister’s falsehood tells us about law and policy\n\n"... This is one thing that George Orwell perhaps did not correctly anticipate in Nineteen Eighty-four – *there would be no need to employ the likes of Winston Smith to go back and change the historical record, as it would make no difference as to whether people believed new false claims.*\n\n... For as this blog has said many times: exposing lies is not enough when people do not mind the lies.\n\nSo we are now in a bubble of faux-historical sentimentality and hyper-partisanship, where the truth of the historical record makes no difference.\n\nYou may think the bubble cannot carry on, but yet it does.\n\nIt is the paradox of our age: it has never been easier to expose a falsehood, yet the falsehoods continue to have purchase.\n\nAnd from this many of our current problems in law and policy follow."\n\n(emphasis mine)\n\nI have to say, the state of things right now makes me wish for a do-over; the only question is the scale of the do-over I desire. There are no hands to follow this one, otherwise, I think I'd fold.
